Summary

AN ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION IS CARRIED OUT ON THE EFFECT ON TH E RATE OF HEAT FLOW FROM A ONE-DIMENSIONAL STRAIGHT (OR CYLINDRICAL) FIN WITH AND WITHOUT INTERNAL HEAT GENERATION OF THE ASSUMPTION THAT NO HEAT TRANSFER TAKES PLACE AT THE FIN TIP. THIS ASSUMPTION YIELDS TRIVIAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOME VALUES OF THE PARAMETERS CONSIDERED IF INTERNAL HEAT SOURCES EXIST IN THE FIN. THE ERROR IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE FOREGOING RATE OF HEAT FLOW APPEARS TO BE LARGE FOR SOME CONDITIONS IMPORTANT FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
